If you had the option to donate in Pounds Sterling I'd gladly donate regularly.

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 1:48 pm

robo,

I can setup most any currency, all I need to know is what the correct exchange rate is.

I will research it for you.

Robo · Post by **Robo** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 2:07 pm

I believe it's roughly £1 = $1.7 at the moment.

i thought that once you got to the paypal page it would automatically send as USD by converting from GBP on your end.

its like an ebay auction is USD ... you sent XX USD and paypal handles the rest.

p.s KB it's fyrephlie not fryephlie, or you can just put clocktower computers back and keep everyone guessing:D

Payment issues, don't ask

snoopy · Post by **snoopy** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 4:22 pm

Hey KB.. I just have a couple suggestions. One, don't do the increasing post count thing. (I'm not sure if that's a joke or not.) I'm gonna donate because I enjoy the board and want to see it stick around, not because I want to buy some sort of status quo. Two, could you try to set up some sort of a financial status page... if you want make it accessable only to those who donated in the past, or at least only to regestered users, but I would like to be prevy to information concerning how the money I donate is being used, and how many donations are required, say, per year. I'm not saying that I don't trust you, but I think the accountability would act to quell potential problems, and in fact encourage people to donate when it's really needed. (Once the newness of being able to donate wears off, I'd expect donations to become a relatively forgotten thing if people are not kept up-to-date on whats happening) Hope you don't take any of that personally... just trying to assist in making it a lasting positive thing.

snoopy,

Once I get this database issue worked out you will be able to see all online donations if you are a registered user. The snail mail donations I will have to manually enter but that's ok.

Sweet, thx!

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 8:47 pm

robo,

Per your request the DBB should accept USD, GBP, and EUR is there another format that I need to add?

I based the exchange rate on x-rate.com or something like that

added 12/20/05

KB, how do you not have AIM?

Robo · Post by **Robo** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 1:51 am

Thanks KB

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 11:41 am

I'll get AIM just for you Lothar,

it's like ICQ when AOL bought them out I dumped it, but I re-installed it for ferno and MD.

As Lothat pointed out I moved all the feedback donation vs post count number comments to the feedback forum.

I would like to take a moment and Thank each and everyone of you for your donations to the DescentBB Community.

My kids will be visiting thier mother on Dec 26th. I can start the transfer to the new server that week. This time the DBB will need to be down for possibly a few days, there is considerable maintaince that needs accomplished.

I would also like to take this time to thank all of our Moderators and admins. You efforts are apprecaited by myself and the community in general.

Merry Christmas to you and yours this Holiday Season.

Mike Sullivan

Donation List Updated 12/22/05

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 11:35 am

Ok,I think I've updated the database, I am human, and entered everyone except the last one on the list. "MT" Once I verify username I will add it to the database too.

Assuming there is another donation we will find out if my fixes worked

Basically the original author of the MOD I installed had hard coded some database table names. I believe I found and corrected them last night.

Please proof my entries for errors, and I will correct any oversites/errors.

Merry Christmas to ALL!

too bad they don't show up on the 'donations link'... but kudos on getting us in there!! thanks

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 11:57 am

not finsihed fixing it, kids are home so I can'[t stay focused enough to work till they r in bed

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 12:47 pm

PARTY TIME!

OK at least the script is indeed automatically logging donations! Man what a load off me, now all I really need to fix is the displaying of the "Donors/Benefactors Page" you know it's like the Plaque near the front door of musuems and finer establishments

So I guess this means that I NO LONGER need to manual add to this list!

Merry Christmas to ALL!

Can I retain my DBB title "Master", while acquiring a rotating doodad? Thanks.

KoolBear · Post by **KoolBear** » Mon Dec 26, 2005 3:58 pm

Hi Mobius,

I'll have to make a DBB_Master to do it see the underscore, I am heading to the airport to get my kids off to visit thier mother. But I will be happy to do it later. If you would prefer something different let me know.

By the way. Merry Christmas.
